“On last hearing in the case on October 15, he (Kejriwal) took exemption from personal appearance,” AAP’s legal wing head Himmat Singh Shergill said. On May 20, Majithia had filed a criminal defamation case against Kejriwal and two other AAP leaders in the Amritsar court alleging that AAP was bent upon tarnishing his and his family’s image by levelling baseless allegations on drug issue.
